S2E7 High Sheriff Mary Clare Rodwell Somerset Stories

    • Personal Journals

Mary Clare Rodwell is the current High Sheriff of Somerset. After living in Somerset for nearly 30 years, her longstanding contribution to the community here resulted in being selected for the role, which dates back to at least the 11th century. 


However, days after she was officially appointed by the Queen, the country was put into lockdown, meaning that her time as Sheriff has been a truly unique opportunity to look at how the county has responded and adapted to the challenges of 2020. 


We met a few days before Christmas to reflect on a huge variety of topics, from the history of the area, to mental health in Somerset.
